All
• Complete patterns with up to two lines of symmetry; draw the position of a shape after a reflection or translation (Y5)
• Visualise and draw on grids of different types where a shape will be after reflection, after translations, or after rotation through 90° or 180° about its centre or one of its vertices (Y6)
Most
• Compare and evaluate approaches; recognise equivalent approaches
• Take account of feedback and learn from mistakes
• Understand and use the language and notation associated with reflections, translations and rotations
• Recognise and visualise the symmetries of a 2-D shape
• Transform 2-D shapes by:
(i) reflecting in given mirror lines;
(ii) rotating about a given point;
(iii) translating.
• Explore these transformations and symmetries using ICT
Some
• Evaluate the efficiency of alternative strategies and approaches; recognise efficiency in an approach
• Identify all the symmetries of 2-D shapes
• Transform 2-D shapes by rotation, reflection and translation, on paper and using ICT
• Try out mathematical representations of simple combinations of these transformations
• Understand and use the language and notation associated with enlargement; enlarge 2-D shapes, given a centre of enlargement and a positive integer scale factor; explore enlargement using ICT
• Know that if two 2-D shapes are congruent, corresponding sides and angles are equal
